Nah. Put *shared* way up in the setup, and adjust it until you
build everything you can of their dynload - the special RedHat
extensions won't break. Then install on top of theirs. There's a
couple spots where they use a default arg before a non-default
one, and Python will catch those pronto. If you like to be pro-
active, there was a post (from Skip?) on exactly where those
are in their source.
